Scoring caregivers and tracking the development of care recipients and related systems and methods

Abstract

Systems and methods for reviewing, rating, and/or otherwise scoring caregivers as well as monitoring the development and wellbeing of care recipients are disclosed herein. In some implementations, the system includes controlling persons, supervising persons (e.g., caregivers), supervised persons (e.g., care recipients), and one or more remote servers in communication with each of the controlling persons, the supervising persons, and the care recipients. Each of the controlling persons and the supervising persons can have a personal electronic. The supervised person can have a wearable electronic device. The electronic devices communicate evaluation data to the remote server related to the physical, emotional, cognitive, and/or social development of the supervised person. The wearable device communicate bioindicator data to the remote server that corroborates and/or contradicts the evaluation data. The remote server uses the data to score the supervising persons and evaluate the developmental status of the supervised person.
